“We did not begin any negotiations with PSG over my father,” said Fabio Capello’s son Pierfilippo.

The reports emerged late last night that 67-year-old Capello, who is currently manager of the Russian national team, was set to sign for the French title holders.

While CapelloJr confirms he was in talks with Paris Saint-Germain director Leonardo, he insists it was due to his other work as an agent.

“The meeting was simply about a few players and some opportunities,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“It was an encounter we had organised with Leonardo some time ago. I have known him for over 15 years, so it’s just a coincidence that the meeting occurred while rumours were circulating about my father.
